Loved by Dolphin Cove Motel guests
"We were upgraded to the ocean/beach corner room #9; It was wonderful to sit looking out the windows at the beach and watching the surfers."
"One of the best beachfront motels in California at its price."
"Suite was very specious and clean. Wonderful ocean views in all rooms! Beach access right outside doors, close to shopping and food!"

“Location is the undeniable draw here, practically on Pismo Pier with views that command attention. While not the newest property, it's clean, comfortable, and surprisingly quiet given its central location, which makes it a solid choice for those who want to be right in the heart of things.”
